Imaging apparatus, control method, and storage medium for tracking an imaging target in a continuous shooting operation

There is provided an imaging apparatus for continuously performing a plurality of photographing operations. The imaging apparatus includes an AF sensor and an image sensor. A microcomputer performs focal point detection (i.e., defocus amount calculation) processing based on a signal acquired by the AF sensor. Further, the microcomputer performs focal point detection processing based on a signal acquired by the image sensor. The microcomputer selects one of two focal point detection results and performs a control to drive a focusing lens in a lens drive 1 and a lens drive 2.
